Lewisberry makes donation to Fairview Township Fire Department

An agreement has been in place between the borough of
Lewisberry and the Fairview Township Fire Department since December 2011. Since the Fairview Township Fire Department
has provided fire services to Lewisberry, they have received a $5,000 donation from
Lewisberry, minus the cost of electric, oil, heat and other related
expenses.

The 2012 donation was paid at a recent Borough Council meeting in the amount of $2,082.80. A portion of the
donation was transferred from the electric fund. It was discussed between council members
William Thompson and Mark Keener that they hoped the remainder of their
donation would be used primarily for Lewisberry.

“I don’t see a problem with that money being
allocated for down here [Lewisberry],” said Shawna Handley, president of the
Fairview Township Fire Department.

Fairview Township currently houses an fire engine in the Lewisberry Fire
Station. Fairview Township Fire
Department began serving the borough of Lewisberry in December 2011.
